@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]also gonna make notes as I go, so that folks can hopefully understand the bootstrap chain more in-depth in the future. Guix makes it a priority to have the bootstrap code be as readable as possible(relatively speaking), and currently nix's is nothing like that, while the code in any one file is fairly easy to read, figuring out the chain of dependencies and where something comes from is difficult to do without referencing a lot of external documentation. I want to get to having graphs and such(as embedded mermaid diagrams) showing the high-level organization of dependencies, also linking back to other external documentation as needed.04:14:17
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIt would be nice if the bootstrap could use the cross-compilation machinery instead of having to manually set up each stage and its overrides.11:10:20
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]that is something I'm gonna look at, but might be a future improvement once its actually our bootstrap root14:05:00
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]since right now my priority is updating everything to work with stage0-posix 1.9.1 and then making this our actual bootstrap root14:09:13
